Water monitoring involves many different activitites, from ensuring the quality of surface or underground water, both for human beings and animal life, to the monitoring of a country’s water infrastructure. Wireless sensor networks are becoming increasingly popular in this area and ADVANTICSYS has already explored its use for many novel applications.

The UviLux BOD Indicator enables in-situ, real-time, reporting of BOD within both natural water systems and water processing plants. The monitor detects fluorescent proteins that are inherent within sewage and slurry and provides an output in BOD equivalent units. The principle behind the measurement is the excitation of Tryptophan-like fluorescence within UV wavelength band, which has been shown to correlate with both BOD and bacterial contamination. With complete flexibility of deployment methodology, the UviLux BOD Indicator can be applied to both water supply and water recovery processing plants.
For water supply processing, the UviLux BOD Indicator can be applied at the front end to the water intake to provide alarm of any contaminated water entering the plant. Applications within Waste Water Treatment Works can include monitoring of effluent levels at the final outflow point (into rivers and coastal areas) as well as the primary, secondary & tertiary stages, the data potentially feeding into energy saving systems to optimise process performances. The CTG UviLux BOD Indicator in-situ fluorometer can also be used within pipe and channel networks to test for incidences of black water and grey water cross-over.

Although there is enough water on earth, its uneven distribution, the rising population and our carelessness drinking water starts to get short. In the future more and more pipelines for drinking water will be built all over the globe. In order to operate huge and complex pipe networks efficiently, water flow measurement and flow monitoring will become necessary. The increasing efficiency of ultrasonic flow meters will make such calculations more and more effective.

The environment is one of today’s foremost concerns, and its preservation is among the biggest challenges we need to meet in coming years.
Saphymo offers a series of global solutions designed to detect the impact of a nuclear accident on the environment and local populations, and hence facilitate crisis management.
Our environmental monitoring networks and mobile devices continuously monitor artificial and natural radiation levels in air, water and soil, and provide data transmission to a central supervision station.
These solutions are internationally acclaimed for their autonomy, reliability, and ability to resist harsh environmental conditions.

The management of hydro-meteorological data demands the highest process standards. Both recorded and derived data from various observation areas are archived together, edited in graphical and tabular form, analyzed, evaluated and presented. In order that these tasks are carried out efficiently and economically, the support of a specialized software solution is required. Our water data management solutions offer a comprehensive spectrum of functions for integrated collection, processing, quality control, evaluation and publication of data from extensive hydro-meteorological measuring networks.

Context & Challenges
Globally, the wastewater treatment is the first public health issue. Urban development leads to urbanization near waste water treatment plant and extension of sewerage network. These aspects induce to an augmentation of sulfur compounds (H2S, mercaptans and sulfides) which are very corrosive, odorant and toxic. To monitor this compounds online CHROMATOTEC® offers high meteorological solutions.
At the entrance of the waste water plants, where the waste water arrives, strongly smelling and polluted air is captured and neutralised by a chemical cleaning process called ‘’Stripping’’.
The correct amount of chemical products needed to neutralise the polluted air has to be calculated.

Odors are very distinct air contaminants as they generate nuisances. The factors playing a role in the determination of odor annoyance are: odor concentration and intensity, frequency, appreciation, duration, synergy and location. CHROMATOTEC® proposes an automatic solution to well identify the origin and the level of odors.

To monitor this compounds online CHROMATOTEC® offers high meteorological solutions.
As a result of the confinement of the waste water stations, toxic components such as H2S and Methylmercaptan increased. Safety of employees on such working sites has therefore become of major problem. To fight this hazardous pollution, air filtering systems have been installed. For the station managers, personal safety coupled with the need for constant air quality control and filter change has been a heavy task.

To ensure the safety of operatives in the screening building/area of waste water treatment works an H2S analyzer has been installed in the main building to complement the protection provided by individual monitors. Chromatographic measurements show that other sulfurous compounds including Methylmercaptans are present in the air in addition to H2S.

Our water leak location instruments are used to firstly identify leaks in water distribution networks (pre-locate) and then to pinpoint their position using one of our correlators and/or ground microphones.

Visualization of information from your hydrometeorological & early flood warning network in a matter of seconds is critical in the decision making process. Contrail supports the data collection, processing, archiving and dissemination of your hydrometeorological and water resources data in one place.
OneRain's Contrail enterprise level software platform collects, processes and archives rainfall, flow, stream level, weather station and many other hydrometeorological data from multiple sources including ALERT/ALERT2 line-of-sight radio data, cellular data, and satellite weather gauge data, and any web-accessible data sources as well as neighboring outside sources such as USGS gauges, METAR, TIDES, HADS, RWIS... . The platform supports any number of users from their laptops, their smartphones, their tablets, however they are connected to the Internet.
At its core are the advanced alarm and notification capabilities. Used in Early Flood Warning, Safety of Dams, Emergency Management...

Sewerin`s water leak noise loggers are used to monitor water networks for early warning of water leaks. Alarms are sent via SMS or received by radio drive by. Our correlators and ground microphones are then used to pinpoint the water leak`s position. Our equipment is used to save water in many countries by all the world`s major water companies.

Water pollution from airport run-off is increasingly coming under public and government scrutiny. As environmental regulations tighten, the ability to monitor for aviation fuel contamination from runway run-off has become essential.

Monitoring sites at airports can be extremely challenging often with no power or telephone lines available and with limited access for maintenance. Chelsea’s robust UviLux Hydrocarbon Sensor with its low power consumption and high accuracy is ideally suited for this application. Installed at various locations around the airport, deployed with it’s own integrated anti-biofouling system, utilising the GSM network, the monitoring sites send data to a secure ftp site, where any internet enabled device can access the data. In this way the systems act as any early warning system allowing any hydrocarbon discharge to be detected in real-time.

Optional environmental monitoring features include remote control to allow the user to turn equipment on and off, change the sample rate and detection range. There is also a facility to allow SMS text and email alarm notifications triggered by user-defined set-points together with customised web pages, data displays and automated data downloads via an ftp server.

Airport runoff can contain high concentrations of various pollutants, in particular polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), the environmental levels of which have to be monitored. An understanding of the magnitude of contamination due to airport runoff water is important for the effective management of airport infrastructure. Chelsea’s robust UviLux Hydrocarbon Sensor with its low power consumption and high accuracy is ideally suited to the airport environment.
